Agree. The word of god over the years has become a load of muddled Chinese whispers. Its been meddled and added to over the years by certain nutcases in society that, finding they are at a low or have fallen out of favour in the public eye, make up a load of tosh as a springboard to garner support for an issue at a relevant time.

It amazes me that it has taken the subject of equal marriage and same sex kissing on TV to stir up a load of wailing from elements of society that for the past 20,000 years were silently gloating to themselves how better they are. Well, times are changing folks. Adapt, or silently stew.

Not when you change the definition of a word. Besides, the bible was written in the time before the English Language.

Its not like we’re asking for holy friggin’ blessings. I just want it to be clear, through definition, that a homosexual partnership is in no way any less strong, important and (sadly, stupid people reminding our relationships are) real than the heterosexual counterpart.

I will have God judge me and damn to all of those who continue to cast judgement on us homosexuals. We’ll see what God has to say about all those judgemental thoughts youge acted upon under his name.

To be honest, if i was God, Id be really pissed off with people acting on my ‘behalf’. I’m omnipotent and omnipresent. If i need to hate, i got it.

These people are willing to believe in imaginary deities, but not prepared to accept differing sexualities and the simple fact that same sexes can love each other and want to be treated like everybody else.

” I believe the bible is god’s word, and I base all my world view on the bible.”

So why are you speaking out on TV, dear? Don’t you know the bible says women should keep quiet? Or perhaps you haven’t had time to read that bit because you must be very busy what with all the killing required by your biblical god – all those non-virgin brides to stome to death, all those adulterers, all those children who disrespect their parents….

And DON’T FORGET THE HEADCOVERING… her bible should be telling her to have her head covered in public… and if she’s wearing polyester/cotton, she’s really up the creek. read your bible, lady, those are all rules.

She’s no different than our own equivalents such as the hatemongers at CI/C4M, Anne Widdecombe, Lord Carey, Anna Minichiello. They’re all on the same page, same script, same agenda in line with the major religious right wing cults, CoE, RC, Greek & Russian Orthodox as well as Orthodox Judaism.

They all claim they’re not homophobic because they say they have gay friends. Well, maybe those gay friends maybe the types who vote against their own interests and equal marriage. There are plenty of them in the republican party of hate and in that insidious gay group, GOProud that has a virulently homophobic board member by the name of Anne Coulter, an extreme right wing commentator and who I’m convinced is a self-loathing lesbian. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

That’s too feasible, Char :D You have to believe something more incredible like her having three heads or something (invisible, untouchable ones, of course) – three heads that are conniving to bring about the end of the world or some such cr*p.

Or you could just say that you have it on divine authority that god hates her. That’s what these fundies seem to do – make up rubbish and pretend it can’t be argued with by mentioning god.

Please explain why there are, therefore so many straight relationships which go a bit pear shaped after a few months.

“You’ll have to take it up with god”

Alright, fine, give me his phone number or email address and I’ll talk to him.

“to change the definition of marriage would make god mad”

Would it? Can you predict the future then? I’d love to see this character and indeed his response to seeing a same sex couple get married. Honestly, it wouldn’t make one iota of difference who gets married to who.

Ask this gay friend of yours what he thinks of equal marriage.

If you base all your world view on the word of the bible, perhaps you need to re-read certain bits in it.

In one picture, you appear to be wearing items of clothing of different fabrics. Or have you excluded that reason just because its convenient for you? Did god give you permission to wear those different items? Course he did, he told you on the phone.

I’m glad that someone who has the voice and brains of a three year old is a conservative mouthpiece against Gay marriage — because she enables normal people to see just how STUPID her “arguments” are and that her real problem is the fact she IS very bigoted. I’m always surprised at the end of her spiel that she doesn’t whip out a pacifier and start sucking it..!

Oh, right – I’m so grateful to this lady for clarifying what it’s really all about. An invisible over-arching cosmic spirit doesn’t just establish the sociolegal arrangements of a bipedal ape (but apparently not all of them), and disapprove of any attempt to change them (well, the latest one anyway) – it actually gets UPSET about it.
Infantile narcissism and superstition – always a potent combination.

Agreed. These imbeciles pick and chose what parts of the bible they feel is relevant to the equal marriage debate. Problem is, many of us who are not religious actually knows that book better than them and can prove their arguments are invalid.

I’m GAY, and since God chose to make me GAY I’ll happily face His judgement … at least He isn’t fuelled by irrational hatreds and mis-interpretations of His Word!!!!!
As Mark Twain observed – “The best cure for ‘Christianity’ is to read the Bible.” I suggest Ms Jackson acquires some basic intelligence and tries this!!!!!
